A right-leaning slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, even rhythm. The strokes stay relatively consistent in thickness, with sharp, squared-off serifs that read as small wedges or blocks at the ends of stems. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with open counters and smooth, continuous curves in round letters. The italics show a steady forward slant and restrained detailing, keeping the texture calm rather than fussy.
This face is well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and captioning where an italic voice is needed but must remain readable. It can also work for refined packaging text or cultural branding when a classic, literary impression is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, combining a traditional italic voice with a slightly sharper, more typographic edge from the squared slab endings. It feels suited to thoughtful, literary settings—formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with strong, squared terminals—adding definition and bite while preserving a smooth reading flow. It balances traditional proportions with crisp slab finishing to create an italic that can carry emphasis in long-form settings without overpowering the page.
Capitals have a stately, inscription-like presence with clear entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase maintains a steady baseline and readable internal spaces. Numerals follow the same italic logic and maintain consistent alignment and color alongside text.
